A watch most people ignore by now

As the hype on this died long ago, I continue to appreciate how functional and durable it is. For the price, especially market price on used, it's probably the best GMT price to value wise. Been to mountains and ocean with me though I feel I don't wear enough of it

Looking great! I love seeing watches getting used how they were intended. I considered this one before pulling the trigger on a BLNR, but I kept seeing issues with the date wheel on the Tudor GMT movements. Have you ever had any issues out of it or had to send it for service? I'd love to get one as a travel watch to places I maybe wouldn't want to bring my BLNR

I am pretty lucky. Have it for 4 years and never experienced the date issue. Whenever I pick it up, wind it and it works.

Once the date issue remedy was implemented, a couple years ago now, the issue has seemed nonexistent. I read Tudor discovered the movements needed to be cased before a proper fix could be determined.

Also, the same movement has been used on newer releases that have shown no date advance problems, which leads me to believe all is good.

I had the date issue, got it serviced, and it is going strong ever since. I also have a second one that never had the issue.
Totally solid everyday tool watch. Highly recommended.

Best travel watch I own

I wear mine whenever I travel and it sees a lot of water time as well. In my opinion the dial is the easiest to read of all my GMT's which include a GS.

Have had mine since June 2018 and it's my daily still. Had a BLNR on order and turned it down when this was released. Had the date issue in late July 2018 but was repaired in under 6 weeks and keeping perfect time to date.

I haven’t had any issues with my Tudor Opaline GMT, but I haven’t owned it for quite a year yet so it’s still pretty new

The BB GMT [sorry for the same constant refrain] has been my favorite watch since it was purchased new in early 2019. It has 5 digit charm w/ modern construction & performance. Plus, it looks great strapped to anything.

It's an excellent watch and you can pick them up for <$3K on the preowned market. I do miss mine from time to time. Did a lot of trips with that watch.
